This elicited a genuine smile from me.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

What happened to Rihanna?

[–] Deadlytosty@feddit.nl 16 points 1 month ago (3 children)

There is a comic that goes into this premise called: "Y the last man". It is an amazing read if you are into comics. It paints an interesting view of what would happen if all men suddenly all died except for one.

So just a wish-fulfillment harem then.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's really not, definitely worth a read

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think there were some situations that could have ended like that (reverse harem?), had he not been so well protected. Also I like that the women just largely adapted, because they had to.

His only use was protecting their future, not their present

[–] Senal@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it could definitely have gone a different way and there were certainly actors pushing for that with various motives.

That it didn't end up that way but still touched on the topic in general made it a much better read IMO.

[–] GorGor@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ive heard good things about that comic, less so about the TV series.

A dark comedy take is Creamerie. Definitely recommend.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I vaguely recall the TV show (and that it wasn't great).

Also, if any of you are old enough to remember the TV show "sliders" there was an episode that dealt with this same general scenario.

Probably tied to a machine that hmmm. Suck you dry all day long. I don't he would have much fun.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But if there was only one person with a dick alive, wouldn't it still restrict the gene pool way too much, as every child conceived after the mass disappearance of penis-owners would have the same father, and thus they would have no choice but to either reproduce with older women or their half-siblings? So I'm not sure if even that could prevent human exctinction.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I assume young girls didn't disappear. So any male children could have partners close to their age, just a little older.

[–] gaybriel_fr_br@jlai.lu -1 points 1 month ago

For the author that's probably a fantasy, who comes up with that otherwise? Yikes though for that mental imagery 😬

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It isn't and I'd like to read the sexy parody but afaik it doesn't exist.

It's somehow both feminist and whatever the male version is; it shows how direly certain careers need women, and because of it, how essential men are to society since they do work women don't as much.

One of the earliest shown characters is a woman that goes from model to ... Mass grave corpse collection/garbage truck driver

that's brilliant, especially the paper cup

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's the first time I came across the Pinkertons, and then later realised they were a real agency.

Also, I love the ending

[–] Deadlytosty@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah the end had me in tears. Really impactful and beautifully done.

[–] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Femboys are still there, nothing was lost 🤷‍♂️

[–] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well yes, but ...

No, it didn't. I typed what i intended to.

[–] WillFord27@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Nobody else find this comment fucked up?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -4 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yea? Thats why they would remain? Thats why I am not worried?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anyone who isn't gay wouldn't be worried tbh

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

They should be

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

in terms of repopulating the human race, I hear you.

in terms of 'traditional' men finding girly romantic partners, trust me, there'll be no issue

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Thankfully a brave soul is doing his best to research this topic.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, a lot of trad guys lean republican, and while it's irresponsible to say all of them are closeted, a shocking number of them are.

They should, they're using your religion as a cudgel.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am aware. And I hate it. Especially when people assume that I'm one of them. It causes me deep distress how people hide behind Christ as a justification for immoral actions.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's almost like the instruction manual is full of justifying immoral actions

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Bible is full of justifications for immoral actions, is it any surprise those that follow it do the same thing?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago
[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

If it's the closest thing they'll get to their idealised version of a woman?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess it's only fair after that kill all men incident, that someone does a kill all women to.

But it would be better if we actually treated each other like human beings instead.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

We do treat each other like human beings. Human beings treat each other awfully.

[–] Aaron_Davis@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

This is reminding me of a song.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

A bit over the top but it gets the job done.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Only one female smurf type fantasy. She wants all the dick to herself.
